Описание:
John Seibert Farnsworth's delightful field notes are not only about nature, but from nature as well. In Nature Beyond Solitude, he lets us peer over his shoulder as he takes his notes. We follow him to a series of field stations where he teams up with scientists, citizen scientists, rangers, stewards, and grad students engaged in long-term ecological study, all the while scribbling down what he sees, hears, and feels in the moment. With humor and insight, Farnsworth explores how communal experiences of nature might ultimately provide greater depths of appreciation for the natural world.
In the course of his travels, Farnsworth visits the Hastings Natural History Reservation, the Santa Cruz Island Reserve, the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory, the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, the North Cascades Institute's Environmental Learning Center, and more.

Описание: Solitude and Speechlessness argues that experiences of isolation are inherent to the writing and reading of Renaissance literature, and finds parallels and meaning in the lives of solitary figures including poets, ascetics, and hermits.
Описание: Ascent to Glory is a groundbreaking study of One Hundred Years of Solitude, from the moment Gabriel Garcia Marquez first had the idea for the novel to its global consecration. Using new documents from the author`s archives, Alvaro Santana-Acuna shows how Garcia Marquez wrote the novel, going beyond the many myths that surround it.

Описание: How the long American experience with an open frontier has entered into an inherently American literature to distinguish it from that of other lands.
In 2016, months before his son was born, Scott F. Parker went to the Oregon coast to hold himself accountable for his first thirty-five years, to take stock of his life and what he'd learned so far, to ask what he might have to offer his son. For ten days he walked south keeping a notebook. Being on the Oregon Coast is the product of that journey.
The book offers a condensed and symbolic account of Parker's walk as his thoughts roam over such territory as nature, solitude, the creation of value, and the art of human flourishing. The prose is reflective and deeply grounded in the environment it traverses. The Pacific Ocean, the beach, and the inland woods are felt presences even in Parker's most philosophical turns.
As in his previous book, A Way Home: Oregon Essays, Parker celebrates the natural beauty of his home state. His love for Oregon is a testament to the power of place.
Being on the Oregon Coast takes readers for a long walk on the beach and leaves them energized--ready for their own walks, their own thoughts, and their own possibilities. It is a profound work.
